Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust the pan with flour and tap out any excess. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the whiskey and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a festive finish.
